After a long development process, We are happy to announce that we have finally rolled out a beta version of version 1! This version is able to capture full HD video - and not just any old video. It has circular recording, which means that it captures 5 seconds before the action happens, as well as 10 seconds after, giving you the chance to see animals walk into shot. It also comes with a new interface that is more lightweight, more responsive, and allows you to choose whether to capture videos or photos.
Here's a list of features:
Full HD (1080p) video, 15 seconds
New interface built from the ground up
New gallery allows you to selectively delete, loads faster, and allows video playback
WiFi has unique name to avoid multiple cameras having the same name
As always, there are a few caveats you should watch out for:
The default WiFi name has changed to MyNaturewatchCam (plus the Raspberry Pi's unique serial number). The website address and password are still the same.
If you're using the IP address to log in, it has changed and is now 192.168.4.1
Downloading videos on mobile devices is currently unavailable (we're working on it!).
Startup time has increased slightly due to a safer, more reliable way of turning on the software.
Please hang in there while we update the usage instructions on the main website.
This is still a beta! Expect a few bugs.
Please let us know what you think. You can report problems on the Forum. Be constructive and as detailed as possible in your reports. Do ensure you have set up a normal My Naturewatch Camera before venturing into this exciting new beta.
